The girl, known only as MS, accused a fellow student of raping
her at a party. He plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge to avoid
jail time and was allowed to return to school and the basketball
team.

She continued to cheer for the team during games, but refused to
shout the boy's name or clap for him when he shot free throws.
When the superintendent discovered what she was doing, she was
kicked off the team.

She sued the Texas school, arguing that her free speech rights
had been violated, but two courts ruled that as a cheerleader she
speaks for the school, not herself, and
did not have the right to refuse.

A federal appeals court
upheld the ruling and ordered her to pay court costs for
filing a "frivolous" lawsuit.
